To Prevent Soft-Shelled Egffs.
If soft-shelled eggs appear iu the
poultry house during the winter the
proper thing to do is to cut down the
seed—the morning feed, not the one
"Which is given in the afternoon. Soft-
Bhelled eggs are almost positive proof
that the hens are too fat, and the best
way to get rid of the fat is to make
the hens work it off in the scratching
material. For tile morning feed no
more than one handful of wheat to
fen hens should be given as long as
soft-shelled eggs are found in the
nests.

Ensilage or Hoots,
The cost of growing corn, cutting it
and putting it in the silo, has been
.variously reported at almost all figures
from §1 to S3 per ton. We do not doubt
Jrat that it has been done for the
smaller sum when the land has been
made rich and well cultivated, and the
most modern improvements were at
'hand to do the work, hut wo think
<a fair average would be nearer
double that with the ordinary farmer,
even in a favorable season. But there,,
are not many who would like t(
jpots for feeding to stock al

perienced a little information may not
be out of place, as mistakes are lia
ble to be made that lead to serious re
sults. It is really better for the calf
if' it is allowed to remain for three
days, or even a week with its mother,
as it gets a belter start that way, al
though this may cause a little more
trouble in teaching it to drink. At first,
new milk must he given, and fed direct
from the cow. if possible; if not, warm
the milk before feeding, as it must
never ho given cold. Bo gentle in
handling the calf, it can he managed
much easier. Hold its head down to
tin* milk, place band in milk and in
sert the fingers iu calf’s mouth until
it gets a taste of the milk, and in a
day or two it will learn to drink with
out assistance.
Feed all the milk that can be spared,
and make the change from new milk
to skimmed milk gradually. A spoon
ful of oil meal added to the milk is
beneficial, and if any symptoms, of
scours occur, a spoonful of flour, or an
egg mixed in the milk may be given.
In feeding skimmed milk it is well
to add a pinch of soda fr. quentiy, to
prevent indigestion. Dry meal or bran
may be fed. In a few weeks give the
calf good, clean hay, or even straw,
but com fodder is better when one has
it. Oats and corn, either ground or
whole, may bo fed night and morn
ing. At about four months of age
water may bo substituted for milk.
If it refuses to drink water when it
offered, leave tlio water in the pen or
yard, and when it becomes very thirsty
the calf will drink,—Ella L. Layson,

WHY DOCTORS COMMIT SUICIDE,
The Leading: Factor is the Accessibility
of Poison JJrugs,
Statistics show that the medical 1
profession is more prone to suicide
than other. During the last three j
years the number of suicides oc- j
curving among physicians in the j
United Kingdom has been, respective
ly, forty-five, forty-nine and forty-
seven per annum, an average of
nearly one 1o 2000; or, as the death
rate among the physicians is about
twenty-five to 3000, nearly one-fiftietli
of all the deaths in the profession
have been by suicide.
It has been suggested that an ex
planation of this tendency may he
found in the development of morbid
fancies in the mind of a doc
ORIGINAL AS BEEKEEPER,
Toll*
David Norton, of Plainfield, Conn,
of 111* ltxperiences.
One of the most original beekeepers
in Connecticut is David Norton of
Plainfield, says a correspondent of the
Hartford Courant. Mr. Norton is over
70 years old and is in the bee business
with his son. At a recent meeting of
the Connecticut beekeepers’ associa
tion, Mr.. Norton spoke at length of his
bees and of his method of working
over them. In the summer this enthu
siastic apiarist sits out among his bee
hives under a large yellow umbrella,
and often naps there, lulled to sleep by
ihe humming. He handles the bees
fearlessly, and is never stung by them.
This year the honey produced by his
bees exceeded largely the amount of
neighboring beekeepers. In his apiary,
he says, the bees enter each other’s
hives indiscriminately if they find their
own hive crowded, and deposit their
honey burdens, and they are like one
happy family. He observes none of the
usual precautions in regard to putting
a new qYieen in a hive—-simply after
the colony has been queenless awhile,
he puts the new queen in, and the bees
never fail to give her a kind reception.
This is contrary to most apiarists’ ex
perience, as a new queen is usually
placed in a wire-screened little box
that is plugged with sugar. The bees
observe their new queen through the
wire and thus become accustomed to
her; then they let out the sugar plug
and free her and she walks quietly on
to the combs in the hive. If a new
queen, ordinarily, is put unprotected
into a colony of strange bees they kill
her. Mr. Norton approves of a very
large hive, so constructed that it can
be enlarged or contracted. In the heat
of the day the hives in this unique
apiary are sheltered under umbrellas.
In regard to moving hives of bees, Mr.
Norton says he experiences no incon
venience from losing bees, as in most
cases where the bees return to the old
location; but he says his bees after
flying out immediately note the new
spot, and invariably return to it. A j*
suggestion offered by Mr. Norton
whereby bees would always know their
owu hive, which he had tried experi
mentally, was to paint each hiV'
ferent color. The bees re,

factor is the accessibility of the poi
son drugs, which are almost invariably
used.
Suicide is largely a. matter of in
sane impulse. Imagine a man fatigued
in body and depressed in spirits—as
a doctor very often is—swayed by an
overwhelming conviction of the utter,
weariness of life to the impulse of
suicide. If he had to put on his hat
and walk to the chemist’s and tax his
ingenuity for a lie with which to
explain his desire for poison, lie might
postpone the fatal act from mere in
ertia, or he may meet a friend or have
his interest in life aroused by one of
a multitude of every-day occurrences,
or physical exercise may bring him
to his senses.
If, however, as is the case with al
most every doctor, he has simply to
feel in his pockets, or walk across his
room to get a deadly poison, the im
pulse may be carried into execution
before anything can happen to sup-
lant it iu the brain.—Pearson's
